Surgery journal questions 30-day morbidity as GLP-1 safety yardstick

Tambasco and colleagues argue the standard 30-day window may not capture the surgical risks of GLP-1 receptor agonists in breast cancer patients.

The wire

  1. 01A World Journal of Surgery paper published 20 September 2026 by Tambasco, Tomaselli, Albanese and colleagues examines whether 30-day morbidity adequately defines surgical safety for patients on GLP-1 receptor agonists undergoing breast cancer surgery.
  2. 02Perioperative teams increasingly face patients on incretin therapy, where delayed gastric emptying and wound-healing questions bear on anesthesia and reconstruction planning.
  3. 03Only the title and authorship are available; the underlying data, patient numbers and any recommended perioperative interval are not detailed here.
